Where is the cabin air filter located in the Volkswagen Magotan?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter in the Volkswagen Magotan is located beneath the glove compartment on the passenger side. By removing the protective panel under the glove compartment, you can access it. The function of the cabin air filter is to ensure a tight seal against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin. It also absorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, and CO2 from the air. The Volkswagen Magotan is a mid-size sedan under the FAW-Volkswagen brand, with a body length of 4865mm, width of 1832mm, height of 1471mm, and a wheelbase of 2871mm. In terms of exterior design, the Magotan features the brand's latest family design language, with a redesigned front grille that incorporates chrome accents and obsidian elements, giving the front end a refined and sophisticated appearance.
As a long-time owner of the Volkswagen Magotan, I find it very convenient to replace the air conditioning filter myself every time—it's hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. The steps are simple: open the glove box and pull it to the lowest position, where you’ll usually spot two plastic clips or screws; once released, the glove box can be fully removed, revealing a small rectangular cover. Unclip the fastener or press the latch to remove the old filter—wow, it’s always shocking to see how dusty it is when pulled out. When installing the new filter, make sure the arrow points in the direction of airflow to avoid reversing it. The whole job takes just 5 minutes, and buying a high-quality filter online costs less than 50 yuan, saving a lot compared to dealership service. Replacing it annually or every 15,000 km ensures stronger airflow, no odors, and much fresher cabin air while driving. Especially in heavily polluted cities, replacing it helps filter PM2.5, making family rides much more comfortable.
